Massengill filly and mare sprint. I think it has a nice ring to it.

I've heard a rumor that the BC is going to have a dustpan giveaway on ladies day.
Any truth to that?

I'm looking forward to putting on my best apron, and saving enough S & H grocery coupons to get a special half-priced "Female Friday" admission ticket!
Has anybody else bothered to e-mail the Breeders Cup with their thoughts?

The last time the BC tried to market the addition of the 3 new races Steve had a representative from the BC powers to be on the show, who also was from West Point Stables if memory serves.
The gentleman was a fairly stand up guy answering questions about why the changes were made. I was wondering who you were going to get this time Steve to explain why it was necessary to segregate the event to boys and girls and how they saw this as a step forward when the best day in racing has been ruined to be replaced by two mediocre days. Given that the higher profile owners who are represented on the BC governing body are likely race fans to some extent, is it not obvious how poor a decision this is when they look at the event as players and fans aside from business. Usually when something in the realm of the world does not make sense it has something to do with money.....but for the life of me I cannot see how this will make them more money as the serious players leave their Dead Presidents at home rather than wager serious coin on turf sprints and other random events....what am I missing here??

I wonder what John Gaines would think of this? Is this what he envisioned? Maybe it was?
